Method
-
step 1
Put the sliced onion into a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 5 minutes, then drain well. Tip back into a bowl, add the lime juice and some seasoning, mix really well and leave to marinate while you make the salad, tossing every now and again.
-
step 2
For the salsa, put all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
-
step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the spices with the yogurt, 1 tbsp of cold water and some seasoning, and put the polenta onto a plate. Take each slice of halloumi and coat in the spiced yogurt, then coat thoroughly in the polenta. Repeat with the remaining halloumi.
-
step 4
Heat 2cm of vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Fry the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until deeply golden.
-
step 5
Toss the Little Gems, avocado and tomatoes with 1/3 of the salsa, then tip onto a serving platter. Add the black beans, halloumi, pickled onions and coriander leaves, and spoon over more salsa.
